General Questions and Answers / About the convergence of transmissionspectrum calculation

Dear experts,
I want to calculate the transmission spectrum (or IV curve) of a 2D-device using DFT-GGA method. First of all, I made a k-point scan for kB (periodic along B direction) from 9 to 19 with kA=1 and kC=150. I got the kB dependency of the transmission current, seen in the attached file.
I want to know, what kind of conclusion can I get from the figure, kB=9 is almost sufficient, or kB=19 is still not sufficient?
I appreciate you for your kind help!
